At this point you pretty much have a complete Silvia front end. So for now it will just be an open hole there. I didn't get a Silvia Grill because I dont care for the way they look, but later I will get mesh style grill. I got a Monkey Magic front lip so it was installed next. I modified my USDM support to work, however I did not get any pics of this.

Now for the front bumper, normally before you install the front bumper you install the JDM bumper support but I didnt get one. Now the headlight brackets, head lights and corner lights. Now you just install everything in reverse order. Everything is a direct bolt on, the only real modifications are to the lighting wires. But for now this is just a general fitment of the body parts. Browse JDM cars for sale from 82+ JDM importers, exporters, dealers and thousands of private sellers based in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Japan and more on the most active JDM marketplace outside of Japan. There is a way to make the USDM bumper support work which I will show later. In the pic you can see my Dad, Jon and Andrew. There may be a few more bolts to take off but my front end was missing a few pieces when I got the car. Now you can just pull the front end off in one piece as you can see by this pic. Now you can see the bolt inside the fender. The second remaining bolt is accessed through the door jamb when you open the door.įender liner removed for access to one of the last bolts. Then ther are 2 more bolts that hold the fender, one is accessed by removing the plastic fender liner and using a couple of extensions. Remove the 2 bolts and the bottom of the fender by the door. Remove the bolts and nuts from the lower portion of the bumper and fender support. Remove the lower bolt for the headlight brackets, remove the plastic clips from the lower shroud of the bumper and unplug the horn connector.įlip the headlights up and remove the remaining bolts, these are a bit tricky but you can get them with an extension and a universal joint. Remove the 2 top bolts on the pop up headlight brackets. Remove the bolts that hold the pop up head lights in place. Remove the 3 bolts on the edge of the fender. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the hood on. This is the stock USDM front end it is also used on the 180SX in Japan. Parts needed are all from a JDM S13 Nissan Silvia:īumper support (USDM bumper support will work with some modification)īumper Lights (USDM Pig nose bumper lights will work also)
